Death of Senator d. W. Voorhees, Wife.



WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Balmy, spring-like
breezes, with occasionally dark cloud over
casting the sky, but withal one of the lowell
est DAYS that ever smiledIon the capital, made
the funeral ceremonies, il possible, still sad
der; sadder to think that one so good, so be-
loved, should have been called not only from
an earth OF sunshine and peace but from the
bosom Of family where the fraternal ties
were so warm so full of affection, where the
only consolation of the ruthless parting is
the soft whisperings of hope. Bright hope
may promise, may console and sus-
tain the soul imprisoned in gloom,
but nothing, nothing can repay
rs for the loss of needed cempanionship and
the rude sundering of ties formed in youth
and strengthened by many years. In the
heart OF every mourner who came to offer
vain and futile consultations or fervent re-
spect to the memory of Mrs. VOORHEES, there
was was a simple, unaffected deep-seated
heart tribute OF sorrow and sympathy for
the afflicted family. The house. though am
pie, failed to hold the throng that pressed
upon il, and even ladies were OF necessity
compelled 10 stand upon the pavement in
silent and reverent thought as the solemn
ceremonies proceeded in the stricken home.
On such an occasion your correspondent
would have preferred to have stood without
and only duty nerved him to push his way
through the crowded hall into the perlor
where, deDsely packed. stood many ladies
and a few gentlemen waiting for the last
tribute, waiting for the JUNCTION of the de-
vout man of God, yielding to the tears aud
heart-throbs OF grief which vents itself
and is soothed only BY its own exhaustion.

II is all nonsense when such papers
as the Lansing Journal and the Even
ing News, of Detroit, talk about
Doodle being used at Lansing this
session. We know better. Of all
the legislatures that have assembled
for a third of century this one has
been the freest from being reached
by any such influences. The mem
bers are individually and collectively
men whom it would be very unsafe
10 approach with any dishonest prop
ositions. And most of the legisla-
ton has been decidedly for the pub
lie good. In fact we do not know OF
but one law that is unjust and unfair,
the Cross insurance act, to the peo-
pie Of the State. Some bills that
ought, in our opinion, to have passed
failed, but we have not seen the
least evidence that they failed through
any Doodle influences.

to vote for county officers in any
county in this State, the board of
supervisors shall order an election to
be held at the places of holding cleo

take place within 40 days after the
receipt of such petition by said board
OF supervisors to determine whether
or not such intoxicating liquors as
mentioned in section two Of this act
shall be sold within the limits of such
designated county: Provided, that
no election held under this act shall
be held in any month in which gen.

e Odd Fellows Herald.

From the Odd Fellows Herald.
Perhaps few lines concerning the
work of Odd Fellowship in this part
of the jurisdiction OF Michigan may
be Of interest to your readers. We
have in Shiawassee county eleven
lodges, all of which are doing good
work, and making additions to their
membership. The lodge here, Perry
No. zoo, has membership of about
sixty, and most of the members are
live working Odd Fellows. On Wed.
nesday evening, the Ist inst, we were
favored with a visit, unofficial, by
Deputy Grand Master George M.
Dewey, of Owosso, and Grand Sec
rotary E. II. Whitney, of Lansing,
with visiting brothers from Glass
River, Bancroft, and Shiawassee
lodges. We had about fifty Of our
members present, who with visitors
filled our lodge room and made very
cheerful our hearts. After the neces.
sary routine business had been dis
posed of, D. G. M. Dewey responded
to call and for half hour painted
in vivid word pictures the benefits of
the order to society ard told us in
the plainest possible language what
were our relations ard obligations to
each other and to society at large.
He was followed by Grand Secretary
Whitney who impaired much valua-
BILE information concerning the pres
ent condition Of the order in this
jurisdiction, and the necessity of
Bling up and doing, that the order
with all its agencies for the good OF
the world may continue to send forth
its message of Friendship, Love and
Truth to elevate and ennoble human
society.
AT the close of the lodge meeting
the brothers present were invited to
a banquet, prepared by the lady
friends of the members here, in the
banquet hall Of the Congregational
society. There every luxury of the
season was dispensed, with the ease
and grace so peculiarly the inheri.
lance of the Daughters of Rebekah.
Supper over the brothers accompanied
by their lady friends returned to the
hall, when the initial steps were
taken to organize lodge of the
Daughters of Rebekah; and remarks
concerning the duties to be done,
and the good that may be accom-
plished by working Rebekah lodge
were made by Brothers Dewey,
Whitney and others The meeting
was in every sense a success, the only
drawback being the detention at
home by storm of some twenty mem.
bers including their fine team for
work in the ;nitiatory degree, Of
Owosso lodge, and for whose enter.
tainment ample arrangements had
been made. M
Perhaps it may be encouraging to
the brotherhood in other rural dis
tricts to state that this lodge owns a
fine building on one Of the best cor.
ners in the village and that the store
beaeath the hall rents for abou,
enough to pay all the running ex'
penses Of the lodge. That we are
out of debt, and have fair bank
account on which to draw in case o.
emergency. E. w. y.
